Never Judge the degree of woman
by the height of her slipper.
You'll find that the backwoods-
mans best friend is his wife, if you'll
ak him.
There is a great display of fall and
went her goods seen on the streets

There is a sort of Press Club in this
vicinity, but it is working independent
of the newspapers.
The grip and scarf holder is new
idea in collar buttons and is likely to
be favorite among travelling men.
This is the season of the year when
chestnuts are we'll seasoned; even those
in some of the newspapers are getting
dry.
When two eyes meet with two eyes
more, and two eyes more with two
eyes meet, should tulips meet with two
lips more? and two lips more with tu-
lips meet?
The man who wants harvest yield
Must gather every sheaf;
The breast that bears broken shield
will come at last to grief.
The tide that bears our fortunes on
| Is master of our fears;
If we but wait the fortunes gone
| Gone with the rushing years.
Then what we do, must be we'll done,
For caution is the wand
With it and industry, is won
The fortunes of the land.
Isn't it a little queer that as we
grow from youth to manhood the OBJ
jects change which give us pleasure?
The amount of happiness realized
varies but little? There seems to be
a certain amount of the article i'm
planted to us, no more, no less. The
boys sled gives place to the richly
capsrisoned sleigh, the toy house to
the imposing residence, the toy watch

ocean yacht-but the first yielded
quite as much pleasure as the last.
Man looks upon the earth and sea

We Have Heard of Similar Cases

There is something very peculiar
about the amputation of the hand OF
Mr.. A. L. Groner, who was recently
hurt in the Salem Iron Works. We
learn that after the hand had been
amputated and he removed to his
home, a distance Of about three
hundred yards, he complained OF
severe pain in the dismembered limb
stating that the fingers felt like they
were very much cramped and called a
friends attention to the fact The
hand was taken up unknown to him
and the fingers Strengthened out, when
Immediately he expressed his relief, OF
as near the time as could be reckoned.
This is something very remarkable,
but by no means an isolated case, a:
there are many on record very similar
to this one. Science has thrown nc
] light upon it so far,

will answer, hog hair also making an
excellent top dressing. If neither OF
these are at hand, some strongly am
monized fertilizer should be applied
at the rate of half bushel of it to every
100 square yards, and raked into the
soil before seeding. The bed should
be thickly covered with fine brush to
prevent both drying and freezing of
the soil, by which the plants are either
checked in their growth or lifted out
by the roots.

The Yadkin Valley Railroad.
raleigh Evening Visitor.I

We congratulate President Gray and
all concerned, on the passage by the
House of Representatives of the bill
extending the time to four years for
the completion of the Cape Fear &
Yadkin Valley Railroad to Mt. Airy
and Patterson. The only regret we
have in connection with the matter is,
that the force of convicts was not placed
at a larger figure, and we trust that an
amendment will be made to the bill in
the Senate to an increase IN that direc-
ton. 1t is one of the most important
enterprises in the State, and should
receive all the fostering care possible.

We agree with Hinton Helper, one
of the finest writers in the old North
State, that the entire South must aban-
don the one crop idea before it can
become prosperous, homogeneous and
happy. How many farmers are there
in North Carolina to-day in debt for
their 'S6 fertilizer by their adherence
to the one crop system, together with
the lien law and mortgage system

TOO GOOD AND KIND.
written for the GOLD Leaf

written for the GOLD LEAF.]
Owe who seek from day to day,
IT'S very seldom that ye find,
AS We go searching OH your way,
A heart that is too good and kind.
And yet know there is one such,
But oh, / wish it could not be;
For thoug gin she loveth overmuch,
She does not give her love to ME.
She loveth all, nor gives to one
A greater portion than the rest;
And every morn beneath the sun
Is loved with equal strength and zest.
She will not concentrate her love
Upon single loving heart;
But, like the sun that shines above,
She gives to every one part.
surely think that it is wrong,
For her to love all men the same;
Love scattered wide is not for long;
Who little gives must little claim.
Oh bonny maid, it is not right
That you should be SO wondrous free;
l really do think that you might
Give all your heart and love to me.
